The best revision for strong verbs in the given sentence is option b: "Mrs. Benoit organizes events for a nonprofit organization."
Explanation:
To determine the best revision for the sentence, let's analyze the options provided:
a. "Mrs. Benoit does events for a nonprofit organization."
This option uses a weak verb ("does") instead of a strong verb, which is less precise and less effective.
b. "Mrs. Benoit organizes events for a nonprofit organization."
This option uses the strong verb "organizes," which is a clear and specific action verb. It accurately describes Mrs. Benoit's role as an events organizer.
c. "Mrs. Benoit is the one who creates events for a nonprofit organization."
This option introduces a new verb, "creates," which is not mentioned in the original sentence. The original sentence does not suggest that Mrs. Benoit specifically creates events, but rather organizes them.
d. "Mrs. Benoit turns out to be the events organizer for a nonprofit organization."
This option uses the phrase "turns out to be," which suggests surprise or discovery. However, the original sentence does not imply any surprise or reveal about Mrs. Benoit's role. Additionally, using "turns out to be" detracts from the clarity and directness of the sentence.
Therefore, option b is the best revision, as it maintains the clarity and effectiveness of the original sentence by using the strong verb "organizes" to accurately describe Mrs. Benoit's role.
